FORMER Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi remains in hospital with an eye condition that has kept him from both his sex-for-hire trial and tax fraud appeals.
San Raffaele hospital's chief ophthalmologist, Francesco Bandello, said yesterday that Berlusconi's eye inflammation had only moderately improved overnight.
Berlusconi, 76, has bilateral uveitis and was expected to remain in hospital until today or tomorrow. Berlusconi's legal team has submitted petitions to courts in both cases requesting hearings be delayed because of the medical condition.
